Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
