Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address difficulties ranging from general problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
