Can any doctor claim to use Ponsetis method and how is a parent to know who is legitimate?

0

There is no official certification. Anyone can theoretically make the claim that he or she is doing the Ponseti Method. Dr. Herzenberg has encountered many cases in which parents were told they were receiving the Ponseti Method, but in fact, the treating physician was making significant deviations from the strict Ponseti Method. These deviations usually result in less than satisfactory results. The Ponseti technique is characterized by long leg casts, reapplied weekly and parents should see positive change in the foot after just three to four casts are applied.
