Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for concerns stretching from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet generally experience.
