St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – St. Albert concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare instruction with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for complications stretching from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
