Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage problems ranging from basic disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
