Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable healthcare education with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions stretching from commonplace problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
