Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for issues ranging from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet usually experience.
