Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle complications extending from basic problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
