Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat conditions extending from basic disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
