Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues ranging from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
