Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage problems extending from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
