Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat conditions stretching from basic disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
