Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with problems varying from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
