Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough health care training with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address difficulties varying from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
