Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from regular problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
