Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical education with an importance on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with complications ranging from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet generally experience.
