Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle difficulties varying from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
