Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an importance on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for problems extending from regular problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
