Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care education with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for concerns ranging from standard problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet usually experience.
