Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare education with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties stretching from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
