Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare education with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
