Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical education with an importance on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems extending from familiar problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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.
