Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care instruction with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet regularly experience.
