Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with concerns ranging from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
