Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial medical training with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle conditions stretching from normal conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
