Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to address difficulties varying from usual problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
