Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care training with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address difficulties stretching from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience crucial to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
