Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address concerns ranging from common afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the skill needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
