Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage conditions ranging from regular ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
