Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage difficulties varying from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
