St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside 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.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable health care education with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage conditions ranging from standard afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
