Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical education with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to address difficulties ranging from general conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
