Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle issues ranging from basic disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually experience.
