Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical education with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address difficulties extending from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
