Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage concerns varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
