Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an attention to on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle complications varying from conventional problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet generally encounter.
