Welcome to
Six-Feet.com
    Six-Feet.com is the  first and original
    all-inclusive informational site
    regarding the treatment of the birth
    defect known as clubfoot . Focusing
    primarily on the Ponseti Method of
    correction, Six-Feet has become the
    model for other sites copy.





The Ponseti Method, for those of you who are not aware of
it, and for those of you who doubt the Method's validity,
reliability, or authenticity, is endorsed by the following
organizations:

  • National Institutes of Health,
  • World Health Organization
  • Centers for Disease Control
  • Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America
  • European Pediatric Orthopedic Society
  • American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons
  • American Academy of Pediatrics
  • Shriners Hospitals

As suggested by such a strong, growing list of backers, this
method of clubfoot correction is a viable option to the
traditional non-Ponseti surgical approach still widely used
today.   When used properly by trained professionals, the
Ponseti Method of clubfoot treatment boasts a 97% non-
surgical success rate in the United States as well as in
many countries abroad.



























Created, researched, written and published by the mother
of three children born with bilateral clubfeet (meaning both
feet have the condition),
Six-Feet.com is the only site on
the internet that offers factual information given from a
first-hand-experience, real-life  point of view.



Why do I do it?  Because once upon a time I needed a
website like this and it didn't exist.
   

Sadly,
out-dated correction methods still abound today in
main stream medicine,
including many of the Shrine Hospitals
despite their over all endorsement of the Ponseti Method.  












As bad as that, if not worse, is the fact that so many doctors now
claim to use the Method but in fact do not.  
A modified Ponseti
Method is NOT the Ponseti Method
and parents need to be
very aware that they are liable to get a cheap and ineffective
imitation if they are not careful.


    The true Ponseti Method is 97+ % effective in
    correcting the clubfoot deformity with out surgery.   
    Anyone who says otherwise, including your doctor,
    must be considered either untrained or uneducated,
    therefore it is your job as the parent to educate
    yourself so you may save your child from the
    barbaric non-Ponseti alternatives.

    Please explore this ever-growing web site with both
    hope and optimism that clubfoot is not a
    handicap, it is merely a temporary inconvenience
    that can be easily, quickly and permanently
    overcome.


    If you are looking for a specific piece of
    information, or perhaps a specific doctor's
    name, you may easily search this site using the
    search box located at the top of the page.


    Sincerely,
