Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care training with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for issues ranging from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
