Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with problems stretching from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet regularly encounter.
