Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
