Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with issues ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
