Edmonton Downtown Clinic Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Edmonton Downtown focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage conditions stretching from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
