Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive medical instruction with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage conditions ranging from normal disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet normally experience.
