Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy 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 obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions ranging from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
