Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for complications ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet routinely experience.
