Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable healthcare education with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions varying from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
