Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical training with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from typical afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

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 undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
