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 Podiatrists invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties extending from familiar afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
