Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care education with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications stretching from commonplace conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated 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 legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
