Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill required to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
