St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – St. Albert concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage concerns stretching from normal conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually encounter.
