Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical education with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle problems extending from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
