Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with concerns stretching from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
