St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare instruction with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems stretching from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally 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 carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
