Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage difficulties ranging from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
