Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained considerable medical education with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to address complications ranging from simple afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically experience.
