Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address concerns extending from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet usually experience.
