Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems varying from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet normally encounter.
