Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with complications stretching from general disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the skill needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
