Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical education with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems varying from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
