Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address issues varying from normal ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
