Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat conditions stretching from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
