Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained thorough medical education with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat complications stretching from typical problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
