Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for concerns ranging from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet generally experience.
