Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems varying from common problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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 perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically experience.
