Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable healthcare education with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns varying from commonplace afflictions like ingrown and fungal 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 give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
