Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical training with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage difficulties ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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 irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally encounter.
