Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive health care training with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage problems varying from common disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical 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 irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually experience.
