Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with problems ranging from commonplace disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise 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 problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet commonly experience.
