Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing healthcare instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties extending from standard problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
