Physicians at The Foot Institute – Lloydminster specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from usual ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
