Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions varying from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
