Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care education with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage problems ranging from normal afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
