St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – St. Albert concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four 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 resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with problems stretching from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
