Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive healthcare training with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
