Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for difficulties stretching from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
