Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from general problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
