Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from usual conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
