Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical education with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with concerns stretching from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
