Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat complications ranging from usual problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
