St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough health care training with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with concerns stretching from conventional disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience crucial to execute surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
