Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical education with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with problems ranging from common disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet commonly experience.
