Spruce Grove Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Spruce Grove concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive healthcare education with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address problems stretching from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet routinely experience.
