Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat problems stretching from normal problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
