Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle issues extending from regular conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
