Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage issues ranging from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet typically experience.
