Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in 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 standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare education with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address problems ranging from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
