Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
