Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a main focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems varying from commonplace disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
