Rickets treatment, conceptual image. Computer artwork of a person's leg bones that have become bowed as a result of rickets, on a background of supplement capsules, representing the use of supplements as a treatment for rickets. Rickets (Osteomalacia) is a disease that occurs most often in children. It is caused by a deficiency in vitamin D or calcium and from a lack of exposure to sunlight. Rickets results in a weakening of the bones. Other deformities include enlarged skull, chest deformities, and enlargement of liver and spleen.
