Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging health care instruction with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues ranging from general conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet routinely experience.
