Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical education with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from typical afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
