Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat issues ranging from simple ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet routinely experience.
