Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care education with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage concerns extending from familiar problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
