Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging health care training with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from conventional disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
