Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a main focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions varying from commonplace afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet normally experience.
