Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle problems stretching from conventional disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
