Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle complications extending from normal afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
