Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with problems stretching from regular problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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 perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
