Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle problems ranging from simple problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
