Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage concerns stretching from usual problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
