St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialise in 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 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage complications ranging from regular disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
