Edmonton Windermere Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage problems ranging from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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 enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet generally encounter.
