Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage problems stretching from standard problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
