Spruce Grove Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Spruce Grove provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to address difficulties stretching from common problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
