Doctors at The Foot Institute – Bonnyville focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with a main focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with conditions ranging from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
