Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems stretching from regular afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally experience.
