Sherwood Park Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to address conditions stretching from basic conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the skill required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
