Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for difficulties varying from simple ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
