Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with a stress on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems varying from general afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
