Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to address problems ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging including 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 execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
