How to treat osteomalacia

Patients who have osteomalacia can take vitamin D, calcium or phosphate supplements, depending on the individual case. For instance, people with intestinal malabsorption (the intestines cannot absorb nutrients or vitamins properly) may need to take larger quantities of vitamin D and calcium. Other treatments to relieve or correct osteomalacia symptoms may include: Wearing braces to reduce or prevent bone irregularities Surgery to correct bone deformities (in severe cases) Adequate exposure to sunlight
