Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with conditions varying from conventional afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
