Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained 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.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare instruction with a main focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat complications stretching from typical conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
