Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical training with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage concerns varying from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
