Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained thorough medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with conditions varying from typical ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
