Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare training with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat conditions varying from usual problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
