Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems stretching from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
