Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical instruction with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address conditions ranging from general disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
