Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with conditions extending from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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 peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically encounter.
