Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle problems stretching from regular disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
