Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with conditions stretching from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
