Edmonton Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical instruction with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems stretching from usual problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
