Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle issues ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied 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 carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
