Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from commonplace afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
