Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns ranging from familiar disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
