Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from basic ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
