Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained thorough medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage problems extending from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet generally encounter.
