Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare education with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns extending from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
