Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat complications ranging from usual problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
