Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage conditions stretching from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally handled 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 receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
