Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns varying from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet commonly encounter.
