Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle difficulties stretching from basic disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
