Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from basic afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
