Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from typical conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
