Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care training with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle issues ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
