Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions ranging from standard afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet usually experience.
