Welcome:

The Ponseti International Association (PIA) is dedicated to the promotion of the Ponseti Method for the treatment of clubfoot. By fundraising, making educational materials about the method more readily available, training doctors around the world, and more, PIA is making strides in helping children walk...around the world. 

"Through this association and the partnerships it will foster, our goal is to make Dr. Ponseti's clubfoot treatment available to any child, born anywhere in the world, with this condition."

One Method:

More than 50 years ago, Dr. Ponseti developed an innovative, non-surgical treatment for clubfoot involving the gentle, manual manipulation of the child's foot and the application of toe-to-groin plaster casts.

One Mission:

The Internet has been a powerful tool in raising awareness of the Ponseti Method treatment of clubfoot. This website is built on a foundation laid out by physicians and parents who have worked painstakingly to promote the Ponseti Method.

One Cure:

Ponseti International Association (PIA) is committed to treating children around the world with clubfoot. No child deserves the pain and suffering caused by  untreated clubfeet.

The Ponseti Clubfoot Center sees patients on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. Patients may schedule appointments with Dr. Jose Morcuende, Dr. Fred Dietz, or Dr. Stuart Weinstein. Dr’s Morcuende, Dietz and Weinstein have a collective experience of using the Ponseti method of over 80 years.  All have worked with Dr. Ponseti their entire careers.  Dr Ponseti remains in good health and is active in all clinical and research activities related to the Ponseti Clubfoot Clinic. At nearly 95 years of age, Dr Ponseti has requested that we “lighten” his clinical responsibilities. He requested that we let all current and prospective patients know that he is well and that his work is continuing with Dr’s Morcuende, Dietz and Weinstein; the colleagues that he trained and worked side by side with at the Ponseti Clubfoot Clinic for the last 40 years.
