Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with problems ranging from general problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the expertise vital to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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 problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
