Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions ranging from commonplace ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex 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 required to carry out surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet normally experience.
