Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care education with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with problems ranging from standard ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet usually experience.
