Answer
Masood,
It can absolutely be helped by chiropractic. Itdepends on how severe the osteophytes are. Your mother has nothing to lose by trying it for 6-10 weeks. Often times the numbness will get better, but the osteophytes will still be there. Osteophytes are arthritic spurs trying to fuse bone together, which is irreversible. Good luck!
