Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained significant medical education with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions varying from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
