Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an attention to on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle issues ranging from normal disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
