Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging health care instruction with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address difficulties stretching from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet frequently experience.
