Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant healthcare education with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
