Leduc Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Leduc specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
