Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage difficulties stretching from common afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet typically experience.
