Edmonton Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Edmonton specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for conditions extending from typical disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
