HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR KNOCK KNEE
Knock knees is a condition in which the knees touch, but the
ankles do not touch. The legs turn inward
Causes--Infants start out
with bowlegs because of their folded position while in their mother's womb. The
legs begin to straighten once the child starts to walk (at about 12 to 18
months). By age 3, the child becomes knock-kneed. When the child stands, the
knees touch but the ankles are apart. By puberty, the legs straighten out and
most children can stand with the knees and ankles touching (without forcing the
position).
Knock
knees can also develop as a result of a medical problem or disease, such as:-Injury
of the shinbone (only one leg will be knock-kneed), Osteomyelitis (bone
infection), Overweight or obesity, Rickets (a disease caused by a lack of
vitamin D)
