Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle concerns ranging from usual disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
