Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical education with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat difficulties ranging from regular problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
