A member asked:
How long must physical therapy last for a bone spur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone spur: You don't do physical therapy for a bone spur. You may be doing it for pain and dysfunction of a muscle/tendon that attaches to the area where a bone spur is located. Usually expect minimal hands on physical therapy, instead an aggressive home exercise program is usually employed.
