Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant health care training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage complications ranging from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
