Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat concerns stretching from regular disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
