Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with complications stretching from familiar afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
