Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions extending from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
