Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing health care training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with concerns varying from simple afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
