Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial healthcare training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle problems ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
