Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Leduc concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems ranging from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
