St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with conditions extending from basic disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
