Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues stretching from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
