Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with issues ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet usually experience.
