Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly experience.
