St. Albert Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – St. Albert concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care training with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat issues ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet normally encounter.
