St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – St. Albert concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for issues varying from usual problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet usually experience.
