Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical education with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle problems extending from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
