Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to manage difficulties ranging from general disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
