Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare education with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
