Edmonton Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical training with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with problems extending from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet commonly encounter.
