Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle complications extending from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
