Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with difficulties varying from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
