How to correct O-leg?

The correction methods of O-leg include manipulation and exercise correction, operation, splint leggings and insole correction. Details are as follows:

Manipulation and exercise correction: mild O-leg can be corrected by manipulation and exercise. Through external massage and reasonable self-exercise, spasmodic muscle groups can be relaxed, weak muscle groups can be strengthened, and the soft tissue imbalance around the knee joint can be improved.

Surgery: It is suitable for patients with osteoarthritis, severe O-leg, or joint pain that has seriously affected their daily life. The advantage is immediate effect, but there are risks such as high cost, postoperative infection and long recovery period.

Splint leggings: Use the pressure generated by splint leggings to adjust the ligaments at the knee joint, thus correcting genu varus. The splint is simple to operate and does not need surgery, but it needs long-term persistence, which may oppress nerve vessels and even cause local nerve necrosis.

Orthopedic insole: Orthopedic insole is suitable for patients with mild genu varus. Orthopedic insole has low inside and high outside. When walking and standing, it can give the calf an outward rotating force, which can prevent the O-leg from being aggravated because of incorrect walking posture.

In addition, we should also pay attention to the correct posture and posture in our daily life, such as not crossing our legs, sitting cross-legged, holding our heads up, holding our chest out, abdomen in, hips up, etc. If both legs and knees are O-shaped legs that rotate outward (it is easy to walk in a figure of eight), because the bending degree is serious, in addition to clamping exercise, it is best to correct it by binding.
