Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
