Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable medical training with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage concerns ranging from commonplace disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems 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 experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually encounter.
