Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with complications ranging from general conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
