Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with complications varying from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
