Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care training with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage complications ranging from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet usually experience.
