Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems ranging from normal afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
