Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address concerns varying from common disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
