Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care training with a stress on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for complications extending from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
