Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems ranging from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet normally experience.
