Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained thorough medical education with a stress on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for concerns varying from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
