Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems varying from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
