Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with a stress on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with problems varying from regular afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
