Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle problems ranging from familiar disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet usually experience.
