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 Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet routinely experience.
