Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle problems stretching from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
