Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical education with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage difficulties stretching from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet usually experience.
