Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address conditions varying from typical conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
