Are you really going to grow a horn from slouching over your smartphone?
I saw this on FoxNews the other morning and couldn’t stop laughing. Is it for real?
(Omahgawsh. Is this the horrid bone spur we’ve heard about?)
Their work notes many other potential causes of these spurs: general poor posture “while sitting, standing, or sleeping,” “bike riding using drop hand-bars,” or “sleeping supine with a high pillow.” The authors dismiss the latter two because they’re not new to society. But, again, there’s no definitive evidence that these spur growths are a new phenomenon, either. Maybe people who ride bikes with drop bars and prefer a high pillow are just prone to these spurs, and we’ve been living this way for generations with no serious consequences.
