Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical instruction with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle problems extending from conventional ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
