Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
