Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat conditions ranging from familiar conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
