Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
