Question
My child was diagnosed with rickets at birth and is now ten years old. Although the condition’s expansion is not very severe, the problem of bow legs is quite obvious. The doctor currently advises against rushing into treatment and I would like to inquire about proper treatment methods for bow legs caused by rickets.
Answer
In most cases, this is due to calcium deficiency, so appropriate calcium supplementation may help with the current issue. However, one should not supplement calcium blindly but rather check trace element levels to determine the situation more accurately. Typically, rehabilitation adjustments are also needed.
