Paget's Disease of Bone - Other Treatment

Other treatment for Paget's disease includes:

Splints and braces. These help support bones and joints and may be used to help prevent weakened bone from breaking. If your doctor prescribes a splint or brace, be sure it fits properly. Splints or braces that do not fit properly can cause skin irritation.
Canes and walkers. These may help you walk with less risk of falling. Ask for training in how to use these devices properly.
- Using a cane
- Using a walker
Physical therapy. This can help strengthen muscles, increase endurance, and improve balance.
Home health nursing. You may have home health nursing if you are taking a medicine that must be given through a vein (intravenous, or IV). Home health nurses can also help make your home safe to prevent you from falling.
Alternative therapies. Acupuncture and relaxation techniques (such as guided imagery and biofeedback) may help reduce pain in some people.
