Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher 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 corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle conditions ranging from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
