  • Causes: Bone misalignment can be due to genetic factors, injuries or muscle imbalances.
  • Complications: It can lead to cartilage degeneration and arthrosis.
  • Treatment: Exercises to strengthen muscles and improve posture; Orthoses or insoles to correct alignment and reduce pressure on affected areas; In severe cases, surgical correction may be considered.
