Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address concerns extending from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
