Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems stretching from standard disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
