Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable health care training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems extending from typical afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
