Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Leduc specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care training with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with concerns stretching from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
