Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable healthcare training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle issues stretching from simple problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet commonly experience.
