Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns varying from familiar disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet generally experience.
