Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat issues ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
