Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage complications varying from standard afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
