Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare education with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage concerns ranging from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill required to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
