St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – St. Albert provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained substantial healthcare education with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems varying from regular disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
