Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to address problems varying from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
