Can Ayurveda Help Correct Being Bow Legged, or Is Surgery the Only Option? - #14889
I’ve had bow legged knees since I was a child, and it’s something I’ve always felt self-conscious about. When I was younger, it wasn’t a big deal, but now, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that the discomfort has started to increase. I feel like there’s extra pressure on my knees, especially when I stand or walk for long periods. Sometimes, I even get sharp pain in the joints. I’ve been looking into corrective options, and the doctor told me surgery is one of the ways to fix bow legged knees, but I’m not comfortable with the idea of going under the knife. Are there non-surgical treatments or exercises that can improve the condition? Can Ayurveda offer a more natural approach to strengthening and realigning the joints without surgery? I’ve read that Ayurvedic oils, massages, and certain asanas might help with joint alignment and flexibility—can this work for bow legged knees? Is there an Ayurvedic approach that helps with joint pain and rebalances the body without causing further strain on the knees? Has anyone here been able to improve their bow legged condition using Ayurvedic treatments or exercises? What worked for you, and how long did it take to see improvement?
