Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive health care training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat concerns ranging from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
