Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with conditions ranging from commonplace conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
