Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out 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 acquired thorough healthcare instruction with a concentration on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from regular conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet routinely experience.
