The clinic is an ideal time to have a child reviewed for bone and
joint development. 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 sufficient resources to do so.
In the past, the Elks have purchased therapy service, corrective
shoes, braces, wheelchairs and augmentative communication devices to
help children overcome a variety of physical challenges.
