Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage conditions ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet frequently encounter.
