Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat conditions varying from basic ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
