Lloydminster Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care education with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from normal problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
