Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage problems ranging from usual problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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 deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically experience.
