Wainwright Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Wainwright concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial health care training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
