About Our Services

Cleft lip

A cleft lip is a congenital condition where there is an opening or split in the upper lip. It occurs when the tissue that forms the lip does not join completely before birth, resulting in a gap that can affect eating, speaking, and appearance.

Cleft Palate

A cleft palate is a congenital condition characterized by an opening or split in the roof of the mouth. This happens when the tissue that forms the palate does not come together during pregnancy, leading to difficulties with feeding, speech, and ear infections.

Clubfoot

What is the Ponseti method for treating clubfoot?

The Ponseti method is a non-surgical treatment that involves gentle manipulation and casting of the feet, followed by bracing to maintain the correction.

At what age should treatment for clubfoot begin?

Treatment for clubfoot should ideally begin within the first few weeks of life for the best outcomes, but older children can also benefit from the Ponseti method.

How long does the Ponseti treatment process take?

The initial casting phase typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, followed by bracing for several years to maintain the correction and prevent relapse.

Is the Ponseti method painful for my child?

The Ponseti method is designed to be gentle and should not cause significant pain. Your child might experience some discomfort during the casting phase, but this is usually mild and temporary.

What should I do if I notice my child's feet returning to their original position?

If you notice any signs of relapse, contact our clinic immediately. Early intervention can help address any issues and prevent further complications.

About Our Services

Clubfoot

Clubfoot is a congenital deformity where one or both feet are twisted out of shape or position. It affects the bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels, making the foot appear rotated inward and downward. Early treatment is crucial for correcting the condition.

Ponseti Protocol

The Ponseti Protocol is a non-surgical method for treating clubfoot. It involves gentle manipulation of the baby’s foot to gradually correct the position, followed by the application of plaster casts. After the casting phase, a brace is used to maintain the correction and prevent relapse.
