Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat conditions ranging from conventional problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
