What Is Osteomalacia?
10. Treatment
Damage from osteomalacia, like bow legs, cannot be treated. Patients will also sometimes need treatment for broken bones. Other than that, treatment for osteomalacia is usually fairly straight forward. It can usually be achieved with help from a change of diet, and ensuring the patient gets outside regularly.
People that have issues with their digestive system can be prescribed supplements to help ensure they get all the nutrition that they need. Treatment for underlying causes like liver and kidney problems will also be necessary in some cases. Treatment for osteomalacia should begin as soon as the condition is diagnosed to help prevent permanent damage from occurring.
