Spruce Grove Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Spruce Grove concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare education with a focus on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage problems ranging from simple problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
