Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for complications extending from general disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet typically experience.
