Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical instruction with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address problems extending from common disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
