Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Leduc focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions varying from usual problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
