Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues extending from standard problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
