Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage conditions varying from simple conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
