Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns extending from typical problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
