Spruce Grove Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Spruce Grove concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with problems ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet normally encounter.
