Bowing leg: If the x-rays were normal than by definition there is nothing to "cure"…she's normal. Many children start out with bowed legs but as they walk more and grow, that becomes less significant/obvious. If you are still worried discuss with your child's doctor for further information and referral if deemed necessary.
