Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to address problems ranging from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
