Congenital Foot Deformities treatment in Cookeville, TN

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We examine the foot and ankle, checking shape, movement, and stiffness. We compare it to the other foot and look at the legs and hips as well. X-rays or ultrasound may be used to see the bones and joints, and other imaging can be arranged when needed.

Step 2 · Treatment

Many conditions begin with gentle stretching and casting, done in a series over several weeks. Bracing is often used afterward to help hold the corrected position. Physical therapy and shoe or orthotic support may also help. Parents play a big role by following the brace schedule.

Some children need surgery if the foot does not respond to other care. This may involve releasing tight tissue or adjusting tendons, and your child's team will explain the plan.
