Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle conditions extending from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
