Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing healthcare instruction with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat difficulties varying from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet usually experience.
