Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical instruction with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address concerns stretching from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied 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 withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
