Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable healthcare training with an importance on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address conditions stretching from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally encounter.
