Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for concerns ranging from commonplace conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
