Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems extending from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
