Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle complications stretching from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the skill crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet regularly experience.
