Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care training with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with problems varying from common disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely experience.
