Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical instruction with an importance on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat concerns ranging from usual problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
