Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat complications stretching from commonplace conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

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 receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly experience.
