Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions stretching from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet normally experience.
