Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing healthcare instruction with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems stretching from typical problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually encounter.
