Question

I have bow legs and really want to avoid surgery are there any non-surgical treatments that could help? Would braces or exercises make a difference? I'm worried about how this might affect me long-term.

Bow legs rarely improve after growth stops—braces work only in children; physiotherapy may ease symptoms but surgery gives structural correction.
