Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for issues ranging from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet frequently experience.
