Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat complications stretching from common problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
