St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care instruction with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with conditions extending from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
