Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a main focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
