Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with concerns varying from normal conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet regularly experience.
