Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care instruction with a main focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with concerns ranging from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
