Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for difficulties ranging from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
