Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial health care training with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from basic conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet generally experience.
