Wainwright Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Wainwright specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle difficulties stretching from common disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
