Patient's question:
How to correct pigeon-toed feetDoctor's answer:
Hello, it is generally possible to correct it through training. The common methods are as follows:1. First, strengthen the leg, arch of the foot, and ankle joint strength exercises.
2. Master the correct running technique and, under the guidance of a teacher, repeatedly practice the correct technique until the movement becomes a motor pattern.
3. For children with pigeon-toed feet caused by environmental factors, pay attention to developing the corresponding muscles.
4. For pigeon-toed feet caused by habitual movements, you can participate in basic dance training. For example, do leg stretches: one foot supports, the other foot is straight and placed on a bar about 80 cm high for a forward stretch, with the foot being pressed outward.
5. If it is caused by sequelae of rickets, in addition to corresponding muscle massages, pay attention to providing supplementary foods and medications rich in vitamin D. Also, make sure to get more sun exposure and avoid direct sunlight.
