Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle problems ranging from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
