Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial health care training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat difficulties stretching from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
