Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle issues varying from regular disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet generally experience.
