Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain 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 reality various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience essential to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
