Sherwood Park Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle concerns varying from commonplace disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
