Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare education with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with issues varying from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally encounter.
