Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 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 acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with issues ranging from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
