Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical education with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with problems stretching from usual conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience required to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
