Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with an importance on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address problems ranging from typical conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
