INFORMATIVE 
Tags: Rickets, weakening of bones, treatments
Treatment involves increasing dietary intake of calcium, phosphates and vitamin D. Exposure to ultraviolet in sunshine, cod liver oil, halibut-liver oil, and viosterol are all sources of vitamin D.
| | The replacement of deficient calcium, phosphorus, or vitamin D will eliminate most symptoms of rickets. |
| | Dietary sources of vitamin D include fish, liver, and processed milk. |
| | Exposure to moderate amounts of sunlight is encouraged. |
| | Treating rickets caused by metabolic abnormalities may require a special prescription for vitamin D. |
| | Positioning or bracing may be used to reduce or prevent deformities. Some skeletal deformities may require corrective surgery. |
