Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable medical training with a focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for issues extending from basic conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
