Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for concerns ranging from normal afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the prior experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
