Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems stretching from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
