Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care education with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties stretching from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
