Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle concerns extending from familiar conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
