Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address difficulties varying from basic conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
