Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage difficulties ranging from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
