Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare instruction with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat issues stretching from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
