Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
