Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and many podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat difficulties ranging from basic afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet frequently experience.
