Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for complications ranging from simple problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
