My baby was born with clubfoot. How is that treated?

If your baby was born with a condition known as clubfoot, one or both of their feet is turned inward and facing up toward their body. Akron Children’s Clubfoot Clinic successfully treats most infants with this condition without surgery, by applying a series of plaster casts that gradually correct the deformity. This treatment, known as the Ponseti method, is considered the “gold standard” for treating clubfoot.

Here’s a link to our Clubfoot Clinic.
