Physicians at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with problems ranging from conventional afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
