Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues ranging from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
