Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive health care training with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for difficulties stretching from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
