Edmonton Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Edmonton specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat complications extending from commonplace problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
