Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from standard ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
