Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat concerns varying from general conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet normally encounter.
