Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care education with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet typically experience.
