Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
