Question
My child is around 5 years old and has been complaining of leg pain recently. Can corrective shoes correct children’s O-type legs?
Answer
O-type legs may be a symptom caused by calcium deficiency. For mild cases, corrective shoes can be used for treatment, and the effect is generally good, although it may require a longer period of time. Severe cases may require surgical treatment. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a check-up, where they can undergo corrective treatment. If necessary, surgical treatment can be considered, and attention should be paid to nutrition, adequate rest, and the supplementation of vitamins and trace elements.
