Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle issues ranging from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
