Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat problems ranging from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
