Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 Doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage complications extending from familiar afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
