Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs lie 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 fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address difficulties ranging from familiar disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
