Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties ranging from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
