The essence of hyperosteogeny is an "aging" phenomenon of human bones, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. With the increase of people's age, the muscles and ligaments around the spine and joints will undergo degenerative changes, which will destroy the balance of the spine and joints and lead to instability of the spine and joints. In order to adapt to these changes and restore a new state of balance, the human body will increase the surface area of bones through bone hyperplasia, reduce the pressure per unit area of bones, and make the spine or joints more stable. It can be said that hyperosteogeny is a self-protection mechanism and an instinct of the body.

Matters needing attention in the treatment of hyperosteogeny

1, the pain is aggravated. In order to minimize the activity of the affected joint, the patient can rest in bed properly and apply Guluoshupingtong ointment externally. By resting, the mechanical stimulation to the affected joint is reduced, which not only effectively prevents the aggravation of symptoms, but also creates good conditions for the dissipation of inflammation.

2. Avoid being stimulated by environmental factors such as getting wet and catching cold during the recovery period. These unfavorable environmental factors will induce inflammation of joints, muscles, nerves and other tissues, but we should also avoid overwork, which will stimulate the joint and surrounding tissues to become inflamed again, leading to the recurrence of the disease.

3. The prevalence of hyperosteogeny increases with age. In order to ensure the normal needs of bone metabolism in the elderly, the calcium intake of the elderly should be higher than that of ordinary adults, eat more high-calcium foods, such as milk, eggs, bean products, vegetables and fruits, and supplement calcium when necessary.

4. Eat more foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as cabbage, millet, mussels, most green leafy vegetables, kelp, oats, salmon, sardines, seaweed, sesame, shrimp, soybeans, tofu, radish leaves and wheat germ.

5. Eat whole grains and calcium-containing foods at different times. Supplement calcium before going to bed, which is the best time for calcium absorption and helps sleep.

6. Eat more foods with high calcium content. For example, milk, dairy products, shrimp skin, kelp, sesame sauce, bean products, etc. are also rich in calcium, which is also conducive to calcium supplementation and pay attention to the nutritional structure.
