Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address concerns varying from normal disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet routinely experience.
