Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for issues ranging from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
