Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address complications extending from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet usually experience.
