Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant medical training with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage conditions ranging from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet frequently experience.
