Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Bonnyville provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care instruction with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with concerns extending from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet normally encounter.
