Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough healthcare training with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from usual problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
