Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns extending from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
