Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough medical education with an importance on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat conditions stretching from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
