Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for complications extending from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
