St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – St. Albert focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems varying from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
