Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to address difficulties ranging from basic conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet routinely experience.
