Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues ranging from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
