Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care training with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
