Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for complications stretching from conventional afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
