Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare education with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with difficulties extending from usual disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
