Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems ranging from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
