Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare training with a focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address conditions ranging from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
