Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
