Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties ranging from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

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 endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
