How Are Walking Abnormalities Treated?
A walking abnormality may go away when the underlying condition is treated. If you have a fracture or broken bone, surgery or a cast may be provided to set the bone.
Physical therapy may also be used to help treat walking abnormalities. During physical therapy, you’ll learn exercises designed to strengthen your muscles and correct the way you walk.
If an infection has caused your walking abnormality, antibiotics or antiviral medications will be prescribed to treat the infection, which should improve your symptoms.
If you have a permanent walking abnormality, you may receive assistive devices, such as crutches, a walker, leg braces, or a cane.
