Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough health care education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
