Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from commonplace disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
