Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties ranging from common afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
