Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address issues ranging from commonplace disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet usually experience.
