Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 physicians have gained comprehensive medical education with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage problems extending from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
