Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care training with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems stretching from regular disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
