Physicians at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from usual problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet usually experience.
