Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address complications ranging from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet regularly experience.
