Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address conditions ranging from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
