Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care training with a concentration on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
