Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle complications stretching from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
