Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained thorough healthcare training with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle problems ranging from normal disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet frequently experience.
