Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute 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 second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address problems varying from normal disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
