Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat complications stretching from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet routinely experience.
