Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet normally encounter.
