Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with complications stretching from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally encounter.
