Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
