Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
