Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with problems varying from general afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
