Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical instruction with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address concerns varying from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
