Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with issues stretching from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
