Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address difficulties ranging from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
