Wainwright Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Wainwright specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems stretching from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
