St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate 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 actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address conditions ranging from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely experience.
