Drayton Valley Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Drayton Valley concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough healthcare training with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for complications extending from common conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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 makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
