Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties ranging from basic problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
