Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to address complications ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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 peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet generally encounter.
