Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with problems varying from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
