Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems extending from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
