At age of 22 without surgery NO. With surgery yes it can be corrected. Before discussing futher we need to do first proper examination. Which bone is involved in deformity need to check. And need full length xrays from hip to toes. To calculate angle of deformity After all this decision would be taken is correctable without surgery or really you require surgery.

You need to consult physically the doctor to get a final opinion but definitely braces won't help at the age of 22 in deformity correction.
