Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a stress on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle complications extending from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
