Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage complications stretching from normal disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
