Wainwright Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Wainwright focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical training with a concentration on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat conditions stretching from regular conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
