Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare education with a focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle complications varying from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely experience.
