Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle complications varying from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
