Coxa Vara

What you need to know:

There are no natural remedies or complementary therapies to treat this condition, but massage, Osteopathy, chiropractic and remedial exercises can help with other problems caused by the limp. It’s particularly important to prevent the uneven wear and tear on the spinal joints, so your osteopath or chiropractor is likely to suggest building up the heel of the shoe on the shortened leg to reduce the risk of further damage.
