Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical training with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
