Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough healthcare education with a main focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat concerns varying from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally experience.
