Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat issues extending from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
