Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten 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 get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from common conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated 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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet typically experience.
