Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical instruction with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns varying from simple conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
