Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to address problems ranging from basic afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
