PODIATRISTS USE PONSETI METHOD TO TREAT GHANIAN MOTHER AND SON

17 years after Priya Permaul received life-changing, clubfoot treatment in Grand Rapids,  Priya’s son, Jonathan, arrived in West Michigan to have his severely clubbed feet corrected. The treatment was a collaboration between the Foot & Ankle Specialists of West Michigan and Healing the Children Michigan-Ohio, a non-profit that helps underserved children throughout the world secure urgent medical assistance they otherwise are unable to obtain.

Foot & Ankle Specialists of West Michigan’s Drs. Michael and Brianna David used the Ponseti method to treat Jonathan. Their colleague, Dr. Timothy Hulst, treated Priya in 2002. Dr. Michael David spent time training directly with Dr. Ponseti at the University of Iowa to master the technique.
