Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough health care training with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to care for complications ranging from basic problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
