St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – St. Albert focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to address conditions ranging from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet normally encounter.
