Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address problems extending from common problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
