Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained thorough medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for problems extending from regular conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience crucial to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
