Why legs are crooked and how to fix it

Congenital curvature of the legs is very rare. Orthopedic doctors believe that crooked legs are a acquired defect. Most often, the curvature of the legs occurs in adolescence, when the bones are still growing. A constant incorrect gait or tight shoes can provoke the curvature of the legs. As a result of this, flat feet form and, as a result, the proper development of bones is violated. Also, the cause of crooked legs can be injuries and excess weight.

Also not enough pleasant, but there are times when such a device is vital.

Pants and jeans are better to choose straight cut. It is better to refuse breeches and skirts of medium length.
