Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties stretching from familiar disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently experience.
