Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare education with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications extending from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet normally experience.
