Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet commonly experience.
