Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical training with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address problems varying from usual problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
