Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant healthcare instruction with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for concerns extending from conventional afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
