Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare training with a main focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions stretching from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet generally experience.
