Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from regular problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute 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 perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
