Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare instruction with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to address complications ranging from conventional afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
