Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
