Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical education with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to care for issues ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
