Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle complications varying from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated 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 submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet frequently experience.
