Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical education with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat issues ranging from usual problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
