Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage complications varying from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet frequently experience.
