Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle issues ranging from regular disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
