Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to address difficulties varying from normal afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
