If your child has feet pointing out or in who complains of back, knew, leg,
ankle pain or has a back curvature can be seen at this clinic. There is no
charge for any diagnostic services at this clinic.
The Elks will provide financial assistance to the best of their ability for
children needing further treatment or specialty equipment when the family lacks

service, corrective shoes, braces, wheelchairs and augmentative communication
devices to help children overcome a variety of physical challenges.
