Rickets is a bone disorder that primarily affects children, caused by defective bone mineralization, leading to soft, weak, and deformed bones. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to ensure healthy bone growth and prevent permanent skeletal deformities.
With a structured and child-focused approach, Dr. Sourabh Jatkar provides comprehensive rickets management aimed at correcting bone weakness, improving alignment, and supporting normal growth and development.
Common symptoms include delayed growth, bone pain, bowed legs, widening of wrists or ankles, muscle weakness, and delayed milestones. In severe cases, fractures may occur with minimal trauma.
Rickets is most commonly caused by vitamin D deficiency, calcium or phosphate deficiency, inadequate sunlight exposure, or certain genetic conditions. Early evaluation by Dr. Sourabh Jatkar helps prevent long-term deformities.
Rickets treatment focuses on correcting nutritional deficiencies, restoring bone strength, and addressing deformities when present. Dr. Sourabh Jatkar creates personalized treatment plans based on the child’s age, severity of disease, and skeletal involvement.
Rickets can be prevented with adequate nutrition, sufficient sunlight exposure, and early supplementation of vitamin D and calcium during childhood.
Dr. Sourabh Jatkar emphasizes preventive care, regular follow-ups, and parental education to ensure healthy bone development and reduce recurrence.
With extensive experience in pediatric and developmental bone disorders, Dr. Sourabh Jatkar delivers ethical, precise, and child-friendly rickets treatment — helping children achieve strong bones, proper growth, and a healthier future.
