Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare training with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from typical disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet generally experience.
