Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with a stress on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise vital to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
