Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat problems ranging from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
