Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns extending from usual problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
