Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable healthcare instruction with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems stretching from usual disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those problems 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 undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
