Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Edmonton provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an importance on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle complications varying from normal afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally handled 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
