Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care training with a concentration on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet frequently experience.
