Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems extending from usual conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
