St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat concerns ranging from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
