St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – St. Albert specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained substantial medical training with a focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with complications ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
