"Parents  of infants born with clubfeet may be reassured that their baby, if otherwise normal, when treated by expert hands will have normal looking feet with normal function for all practical purposes.  The well treated clubfoot is no handicap and is fully compatible with normal, active life." Ignacio Ponseti, M.D.

The majority of clubfeet can be corrected in infancy in about six to eight weeks with the proper gentle manipulations and plaster casts. The treatment is based on a sound understanding of the functional anatomy of the foot and of the biological response of muscles, ligaments and bone to corrective position changes gradually obtained by manipulation and casting. Many parents call their child evolution a Ponseti Miracle. Join the team - RACE SO ONE DAY THEY CAN RUN!
