Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle difficulties extending from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet frequently experience.
