Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Leduc focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns varying from usual conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
