Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with issues ranging from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
