Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical education with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle conditions varying from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
