Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough healthcare education with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage conditions varying from common problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
