Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to handle problems varying from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
