Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Leduc concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues stretching from usual disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
