Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare training with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from typical problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
