Is there any way to reduce my carrying angle from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery? I have it in both hands and was wondering if specific exercises could help or if surgery is the only option to fix it
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's possible to reduce an excessive carrying angle (cubitus valgus) from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery, and exercises can be helpful. While surgery may be an option in some cases, yoga and physical therapy exercises can be effective in strengthening the muscles and potentially reducing the angle.

My 17-year-old daughter had brain tumor surgery at age 4 and now has issues with her breast and neck shifting out of place. An ortho doctor recommended seeing a surgeon for reverse cervical lordosis, but we're worried about another operation. Are there non-surgical options to help correct this or relieve her symptoms?
