Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from commonplace ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated 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 submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
