Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat problems varying from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
