Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat complications ranging from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
