Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant health care training with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to address complications varying from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet typically experience.
