Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for complications ranging from normal disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
