Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage concerns ranging from basic conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the skill needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet normally experience.
