Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Leduc specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues extending from basic conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
