Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues ranging from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
