Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical education with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions extending from typical disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
