Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for problems ranging from basic problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
