Studies show that 90-95% of patients experience significant pain relief and improved function. Many patients are able to resume normal activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, and engaging in low-impact exercise

I'm 23 and have bow legs are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that can help fix them and how long would it take to see improvement
At 23, the bones are mostly mature, so non-surgical correction of bow legs is limited. However, physiotherapy focusing on strengthening hip and thigh muscles, along with posture correction exercises, may improve appearance and function. It may take several months to notice subtle changes. For significant correction, surgical options may be more effective.
