About one baby in every 1,000 in the United States is born with clubfoot. Almost half of those babies have bilateral clubfoot where both feet have the deformity. The wonderful news is that there is a non-surgical treatment that, with rare exceptions, can correct clubfoot and help children live normal lives.
Clubfoot requires a proper medical evaluation and will not resolve on its own.
In this segment, Dr. Matthew Dobbs joins the show to discuss treatment options for club foot available at St. Louis Children's Hospital and when to refer to a specialist.
