Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with concerns stretching from standard disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
