Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat conditions ranging from standard conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet frequently experience.
