Can Bow Legs Be Corrected By Ayurvedic Massages In A Toddler?
Hello doctor,my son 1.5 years old is suffering from bow legs. When we consulted our doctor, he told it iseems to have liitle large deformity, so suggested to use braces for him and also prescribed calcium syrup. but my son don't like to wear that braces and often shows sttuborn character after wearing it. its about a month but no considerable improvement is observed.I want to know that whether it can be corrected by ayurvedic massages or again we have to go for braces only. thanks & regards Rekha

hi rekha
its the right time to start the treatment for this condition through Ayurveda. Calcium and other supplements don't play significant role in such conditions and the parents often contact us with such problem in the 5th or 6th year age of their children when there are little chances of improvement.
only massage is not going to deal with the problem. It will be dealt with the help of oral medication, basti and massage as well.
for any further suggestion, i need to know his complete medical history right from his birth.
hope the answer will lead you to select the right treatment path....
waiting to hear from you...
