Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with concerns ranging from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet commonly experience.
