Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with conditions extending from common afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
