Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from regular problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely experience.
