Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat difficulties ranging from conventional problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed 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 legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
