Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle complications ranging from regular disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically experience.
