Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat issues stretching from usual conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet typically encounter.
