Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical instruction with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet usually experience.
