Understanding congenital foot deformities, and how we help in Murfreesboro.

Looking for help with congenital foot deformities in Murfreesboro? Our Murfreesboro clinic at 536 N Thompson Ln, Suite F offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.

Congenital foot deformities are differences in foot shape that a baby is born with. Examples include clubfoot, where the foot turns inward, and other twisted or curved feet. Some are mild, and some need treatment soon after birth.

Parents often see these at birth or in early checkups. Starting care early gives the foot the best chance to move and grow well. Our team works with your child's pediatric doctors to plan care.

Diagnosis and care

How we treat congenital foot deformities in Murfreesboro.

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.
