Sherwood Park Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Sherwood Park focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage problems varying from commonplace conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
