Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle complications varying from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet usually encounter.
