Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns stretching from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet typically experience.
