Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable medical instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat issues ranging from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
