Doctors at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with difficulties ranging from normal conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
