Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant healthcare education with a focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties varying from typical problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet regularly experience.
