Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare education with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
