Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions ranging from simple problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the experience vital to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
