Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical education with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for complications varying from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
