Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns varying from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the skill needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
