Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat concerns varying from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically experience.
