Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 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 receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare training with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage difficulties stretching from familiar afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
