Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical training with a concentration on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat complications varying from typical conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
