Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage complications stretching from normal afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
