Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant health care education with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat issues ranging from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled 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 feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet generally encounter.
