Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage problems varying from simple conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
