Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems extending from regular disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
