St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with complications ranging from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
