Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable health care training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage conditions stretching from familiar disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
