Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical education with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems extending from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
