Is HGH Effective In Treatment Of Clubfoot?
Hi my name is matt and am a triplet and I was the middle child and this I have a Clubfoot on my right foot. I am actively working out such as using weights, squats, wall squats, leg extensions, pull-ups, push-ups, yoga which really helps me get flexible. I was wondering if hgh is a possible solution for my right foot since it is a half inch smaller than my left in which it will help my feet and calves get even.

Hi,
The exercises may help up to some extent but will not resolve it significantly so surgical correction by Orthopedic surgeon or braces use in step if bone epiphysis have not met yet may be helpful. No medicine therapy is possible in such case.
Wishing you a speedy recovey. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
