Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care training with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions extending from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
