Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Leduc specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare education with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage difficulties extending from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet typically experience.
