Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant healthcare instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle complications stretching from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
