Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Windermere concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat issues extending from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise needed to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet usually experience.
