Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues ranging from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet frequently experience.
