Sherwood Park Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage conditions ranging from standard afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet routinely experience.
