Hi ,
Osteophytes are bony outgrowth as parrot beak at joint line due to damage or degenerative changes at joint . Generally they are left(no treatment required ) when asymptomatic otherwise Surgical removal done at assable site .
In your case you are asymptomatic ( no symptoms mentioned ) so you just need conservative management with regular physiotherapy , avoid bending forward n sternous exercise , warm compression, LS Belt intermittent application with methyl cobalamine tablet once a day .

Hope this ll help

Thanks n regards
