Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
