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)
