Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage problems extending from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
