Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant medical training with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from conventional problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet generally experience.
