The Positive Care and Development Foundation (PCDF) has taken another major step toward improving child health in Nigeria with the launch of a completely free, non-surgical clubfoot treatment program in Ekiti State!
What is Clubfoot?
Clubfoot is a congenital condition where one or both feet are twisted out of shape or position at birth. Left untreated, it can lead to disability, pain, and difficulty walking. However, the good news is — clubfoot is treatable! Especially when diagnosed and treated early in life.
A Non-Surgical Solution: The Ponseti Method
Through this new program, PCDF is offering children born with clubfoot access to the Ponseti Method — a safe, non-surgical, and globally proven approach to correcting clubfoot. This technique involves gentle manipulation and casting, followed by bracing to maintain correction. It’s effective, minimally invasive, and life-changing for children and their families.
Why This Matters
Every child deserves the chance to walk, run, and live a full life without limitations. Yet, many families in underserved communities are unaware that clubfoot can be corrected without surgery — and at no cost. This program ensures that children in Ekiti and surrounding areas are not left behind due to lack of awareness or financial barriers.
