Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive medical training with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
