Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat problems varying from standard problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally encounter.
