That's likely something you'd have to speak to your doc about. Or an ortho specialist?

thats something you should really be talking to qualified doctors about... if you have doubts, seek a 2 opinion

it sounds to me like surgery would be about your only option from what I know of the subject

Surgery is probably the only option in that case....but its pretty successful

Are you talking about your 10-month-old baby???? Look up this condition at webmd.com and get yourself to a library if needed. I doubt it that you'll be able to avoid surgery, but, obviously, I know jack. Help yourself to all the resources available to you. Call other doctors if needed. Boy, you DO HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL!! May God bless you and all of your loves.

I would probably seek a couple of opinions before taking any one Doctors treatment advice for something this big. Wish you an effective and speedy solution hon!

I feel for you talk to as many docs as possible, educate yourself. Know that the surgery may really improve her mobility

Seems I have heard of deep fascia release massage techniques for club feet in children. You might ask around in the medical field about if that would be an option for your case.
