Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle issues ranging from normal disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
