Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle issues extending from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet normally encounter.
