Hello Sara,

I am italian grandfather. My grandson Giuseppe born 07/7/2005 with very severe

bilateral clubfoot and he treated by italian doctor that said to use Ponseti's

method.

After 4 months of casts and tenotomy my grandson not bettered.

I contacted directly dott. Ponseti and I with my daughter and my grandson

leaved to IOwa City (14 nov to 10 dic 2005) and met doct Ponseti. After one

months the feet are perfects. He use now 22 hours 's brace.

To meet Dott. Ponseti is the better idea of my life.

These is my experience. I hope is useful for you.

The Giuseppe's story is in photo of nosurgeryclubfoot.

The best wish for all

Hello

My name is Sara and my daughter was born July 28, 2005 with bcf. For

about 6 weeks, we went to Children's Memorial in Chicago and she

had the routine plaster casts. The doc was suggesting surgery and it

is not what I'd really like to do, so we stopped treatment there.

We had contacted a Naturopath/Chiropractor who said she didn't need

surgery, but he is in South Carolina. I have been doing " therapy " with

her since then--about 2 1/2 months and although her feet are more

pliable, they just aren't showing much improvement. She is now 5

months old and developing so quickly and I want to correct this

problem!

I was to the point that surgery was creeping into my mind and I truly

need some inspiration and reassurance that we can help her w/o surgery.

Please, any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Don't do surgery! There is absolute hope for her little feet without surgery.

You need to find a qualified Ponseti doctor near you ASAP. Have you been to the

Ponseti website? There is a list of qualified doctors on his site.

http://www.vh.org/pediatric/patient/orthopaedics/clubfeet/physicians.html

Let us know what you find. You have come to the right place to ask questions.

Your daughter should be in the DBB or her feet are going to relapse. I question

if they are even corrected if the doctor wanted to do surgery. It isn't too

late to start the treatment over, which may be what you need to do at this

point.

Good luck, please keep us posted.

Christee,

I would love information on how to get free airfare to see Dr. Ponseti with my

daughter. I am located in the north central Texas area if that makes a

difference in the airfare. Her little feet are beat up after 24 hours in the

Markells and I want him to examine them and advise me. I would go tomorrow if I

could arrange it. Thank you for any help.

Contact Dr. Ponseti or find someone in the area that TRUELY follows the

Ponseti method 100%! She will NOT need surgery! Call me, I can get you free

airfare to Iowa to see Dr. P himself!
