Physicians at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address complications extending from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
