Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually various podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat conditions extending from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet normally encounter.
