St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – St. Albert focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical education with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address concerns ranging from standard disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
