Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat issues ranging from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
