Drayton Valley Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Drayton Valley focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat issues ranging from familiar disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet routinely experience.
