Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

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 endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
