Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough healthcare training with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle concerns varying from basic problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
