Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical education with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from general afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet routinely experience.
