Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for issues ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise essential to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
