Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address complications extending from familiar problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
