Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant healthcare training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address problems ranging from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
