Wainwright Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Wainwright focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical education with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle conditions stretching from usual disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical 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 allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
