Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for concerns extending from simple disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
