Knock knees can often be managed with specific strengthening exercises, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modifications. For the dietary part, focus on calcium-rich foods like dairy, leafy greens, almonds, and fortified cereals, along with Vitamin D for better calcium absorption. Before the consultation on lifestyle modification, please get your Calcium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12 levels tested.

To support knock knee condition, focus on a calcium, vitamin D, and protein-rich diet. Include milk, curd, paneer, ragi, sesame seeds, leafy greens, eggs, nuts, and seasonal fruits. Strengthening exercises and physiotherapy play a key role in correction, along with diet.
To boost bone calcium: get 15–20 mins of sunlight daily and include vitamin D-rich foods like mushrooms and fortified milk.
