Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle difficulties ranging from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
