Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat problems varying from general disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
