Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with complications ranging from familiar afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
