Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle complications extending from common afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally encounter.
