Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems ranging from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
