Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to address problems extending from regular disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
