Glorifying Jesus

by coming alongside those in need.

Facts


Clubfoot occurs between the 18th and 20th week of gestation. This occurs when the Achilles tendon does not grow with the developing baby. Due to this, the baby is born with one or two feet that are curved up and inward. A child with clubfoot is born every 3 minutes.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

-Ephesians 2:10

About

Since the inception of On His Path (and even back when MD Orthopaedics was in their garage) the Lord put the vision of eradicating untreated clubfoot in their heart. Founded in 2009 by John and Jean Mitchell, On His Path sprang out of the abundance of God's blessings. They are committed to focusing on ensuring the Ponseti clubfoot treatment for all children while spreading the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Ponseti Clubfoot Treatment

Every 3 minutes a baby is born with clubfoot deformity. If left untreated, clubfoot can lead to a lifetime of physical disability. These are the stories from people around the world using the Ponseti clubfoot treatment method.

Needs

While clubfoot occurs in every single country in the world, 90% of UNTREATED clubfoot cases are in developing countries. Many developing countries do not have access to surgery rooms, surgeons, surgical teams ect. It has also been concluded that treating clubfoot by invasive surgeries is not effective and will often leave the child with long lasting pain and disabilities. The Ponseti method is noninvasive and non-surgical. When followed correctly, it is 99% effective! The baby is completely corrected after 4 to 6 weeks. After the casting phase, the child moves into braces for the next four years.
