Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable healthcare education with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet routinely experience.
