Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with difficulties ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
