Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle conditions ranging from normal problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
