Specialists at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare training with a main focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle complications ranging from usual ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
