Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for problems stretching from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet commonly experience.
