Edmonton Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Edmonton provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to address concerns stretching from usual disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently experience.
