Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical education with a focus on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle complications varying from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
