Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging medical education with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with issues stretching from familiar conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically experience.
