Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four 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 is similar to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address problems stretching from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet typically experience.
