Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 residency, our Doctors have received considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat difficulties stretching from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
