Doctors at The Foot Institute – Chestermere specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat conditions stretching from simple problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
