Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to address problems extending from basic conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled 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 perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly experience.
