Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage conditions varying from standard afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
