Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns stretching from simple disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
