Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Spruce Grove concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle conditions ranging from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise required to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally experience.
