Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions varying from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best handled 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 experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
