Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant health care education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage complications ranging from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
