Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care education with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from usual problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet typically experience.
