Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat difficulties ranging from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet normally experience.
