Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat conditions ranging from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
