Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address issues ranging from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
