Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with conditions ranging from general disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the skill required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
