Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle difficulties stretching from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
