Sherwood Park Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough health care instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address conditions ranging from basic problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
