Sherwood Park Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical education with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with conditions ranging from usual problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the expertise crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
