Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing medical education with a main focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties ranging from standard ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
