Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with a stress on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems extending from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the skill required to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
