Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to address problems ranging from regular disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
