Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining 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 residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat complications stretching from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally encounter.
